The news has come that Internet Explorer 7 will come out as a high priority security update when it’s released later this year. This should mean good things for the folks that are still using IE6 as it will bring quite a few security enhancements. (On a side note, my test of Vista with IE7 failed to display averyjparker.com … other sites hosted on the same server worked, but I got a page not found for that domain. More testing there to come.) Microsoft has noted that not everyone will want all their pcs to automatically update to IE7 and so… They’ll issue a tool to block that update if one chooses.

Legal wi-fi jamming
I’ve heard rumors of how the 802.11 pre-n wireless networking hardware really KILLS nearby 802.11 wireless b/g networks. Today George Ou has some details. I really think this is a serious problem with the equipment coming out as it will force people to move to another wireless standard. (Somehow, this is all starting to make sense now – wait – maybe it ISN’T a problem “from a certain point of view”.) Anyway – it sounds like it’s really problematic to troubleshoot because it only kills the other networks when transmitting, so symptoms of the problem would be sporadic network drops. (Ouch wireless is going to be getting tricker ESPECIALLY in high density areas.)
